I may never see him again
Infinity Blade was my favorite game on my original iPad. It was a great way to spend 10 minutes or so, stop and the continue at another time.
It operates right at the limit of what the RAM of the first iPad can deal with. It would sometimes crash, sending me back to the home screen. But a quick shut down and restart flushed out whatever was causing the problem and I was good to go.
But not since I upgraded to iOS5. The game crashed hard right in the middle of the bottom level where I place the Infinity Blade in its receptacle.
And now nothing will allow the game to play. Shutting down and restarting – it crashes at the startup screen. Turn off Wi-fi – it crashes at the startup screen.
Reload from my backup – it crashes at the startup screen. Nothing works.
All that is apparently left is to delete the app and reload it back on the iPad. But then I will lose all my saved games. The things I spent months accomplishing – gone.
So, I have to come to terms with the fact that all my work is lost and probably will not be recovered.
Perhaps I can ask for a new iPad2 for Christmas. Maybe the game will recover from the crash on an iPad with more memory?
